Photos matter. A lot of the growth in the tech world over the past few years has been fueled by the sharing and exchange of images online.
In case you haven't read our previous article, at Snappr we've developed a LinkedIn Photo Analyser that uses artificial intelligence to evaluate portraits for things like expression, composition, and photo quality.
To follow up on our previous analysis, we've decided to look at the faces of the tech giants of our world.

The verdict is out and according to our Photo Analyser, employees at Apple have the best LinkedIn photos in the tech industry.
If we look at smile ratings however, Facebook leads the charge with the highest average rating while Microsoft sits far below the group average in last place.

In tech, there is the age old rivalry between the engineering and sales team. Looking at the Bay Area, our analyser tells us that salespeople have a significantly higher smile rating compared to engineers, almost 40% higher. What's more interesting however is when we look at their overall scores, we find that engineers in the Bay Area have better photos on average!
So how does your photo stack up against the rest? Use our Photo Analyzer to find out.
